automatically and displays indoor and outdoor temperature. The large time digits (4
¼ inches) are easy to read from across the room.
ATOMIC DIGITAL WALL CLOCK:
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP:
Step 1:
Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium or Rechargeable Batteries
Remove battery cover from Atomic Digital
Clock, slide tabs down and pull out to
remove the cover.
Insert 3 NEW C batteries (not included)
into the back of the Atomic Digital Clock.
Observe the correct polarity (see marking
inside the battery compartment).
The Atomic Digital Clock will show, time
(12:00) date (1/1) and indoor
temperature.
Step 2:
Remove the screws, then battery cover from the back of
the KW5012FSK transmitter.
Insert 2 NEW AA batteries (not included) into the
transmitter. Observe the correct polarity.
Keep the Atomic Digital Clock and the transmitter close to
each other (within 10 feet) for 15 minutes.
Within 3 minutes the outdoor temperature should be
displayed.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
After waiting 3 minutes, if the outdoor temperature does not show up in the
designated area on the Atomic Digital Clock, hold the SEARCH button for three
seconds to search for the transmitter.
Press the TX button on the KW5012FSK transmitter (under the battery cover).
If holding the SEARCH button fails to find the outdoor temperature reading,
remove batteries from both units for 15 minutes and restart from step 1.
For optimal reception performance, of the 915 MHz signal, the outdoor
transmitter should be placed within 330 feet (100 meters) from the Atomic Digital
Clock.
WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME
The NIST radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado and transmits the
exact time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal
can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Atomic
Digital Clock. However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is
very limited during daylight hours. The Atomic Digital Clock will search for a signal
daily at 2AM when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from
the NIST Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado.
WWVB RECEPTION ICON
A tower
with full signal strength will appear on screen if the reception of atomic time
is successful.
The tower icon will show solid when the Atomic Digital Clock has received the
WWVB signal.
The tower icon will flash when the Atomic Digital Clock is searching
for the WWVB signal.
No tower icon shows. The Atomic Digital Clock was unable to receive a signal at
this time.
Reposition the Atomic Digital Clock for better signal reception or try again at
bedtime.
The Atomic Digital Clock will start searching at: 02:00 and if no reception on the
first attempt they will try again at 03:00, 4:00, and 5:00.
Manual Search
: Hold the
button to start a manual signal search. If the search
fails, the Atomic Digital Clock will automatically search again the next full hour.
Note:
In case the Atomic Digital Clock is not able to detect the WWVB signal
(disturbances, transmitting distance, etc.); the time can be manually set with the
program menu
.
